CHAPTER LXVI.


EWING TOWNSHIP.


Situation and Description .- Ewing is located on the western border of the county, and is about .equi- distant from its northern and southern limits. The


surface of Ewing is generally level or slightly undu- lating, and the soil is very fertile and favorable to the production of the cereals, oats being a notable erop. It is watered by the Delaware River, which forms its western boundary; Jacobs Creek, along its north- west extremity; and Shabbakonk Creek, which rises north of the eentre and flows southeasterly into Lawrenee.


There are within the township limits about ten thousand acres of improved land. It is one of the wealthiest and most thiekly populated townships in the county in proportion to its area.


The Delaware and Raritan Canal feeder has its course through the western part, and along its ex- treme western border is the hydraulie canal furnish- ing water-power to the factories and mills of Trenton. A branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad traverses the township side by side with the feeder. .


Settlement .- The settlement of Ewing was as early as that of any portion of the county. It was made about two hundred years ago by Daniel Howell, John Davis, William Reed, Robert Lanning, Charles Clark, Ebenezer Prout. Nathaniel Moore, Abiel Davis, Simon Sacket, Jacob Reeder, John Deane, John Burroughs, Jonathan Davis, Richard Scudder, Thomas Hutchin- son, and others from Long Island and elsewhere. At that time the territory now known as Ewing (in honor of Charles Ewing, LL.D., chief justice of New Jersey, who died in 1832, two years before the organ- ization of the township) was included in the old township of Hopewell, in the history of which and of Lawrenee (formerly Maidenhead) will be found mueh of interest to residents of Ewing, which it has been found impossible to treat specifically in this connection.


It is presumed that most of the Hutchinsons in this county are descended from Thomas Hutchinson, who eame from England and settled in what is now Ewing township, in 1687 or 1689.


His plantation consisted of five thousand aeres, and his manor-house was on the farm on which the lunatic asylum is built. The Hutchinsons were at first Episcopalians, and John Hutchinson, only heir of Thomas, gave a lot in 1703 for a place of burial, and on this lot the first church ever built within the limits of the present county of Mereer was built. The Episcopalians used this until they built their church in Trenton. The site of this church is a short dis- tance north of the asylum. The Hutchinsons are very numerous in this vicinity at present.


Richard Seudder, of English descent, came from Long Island in 1704, and established himself on a farm in Ewing, on the bank of the Delaware, and about half a mile from Greensburg, which is still in possession of his lineal descendants. His children were Hannah, Mary, Richard, John, Abigail, Joseph, Samuel, Rebecca, and Joanna. He died March It, 1754, aged eighty-tliree.


Jolin Scudder, son of Richard, married a Miss

The family is quite numerous, and some members of it are prominent citizens. George Green, of this family, removed to Lawrence in 1768. One of his grandsons, Hon. Henry W.
